It’s too short for $30. The other Branson light displays cost the same amount and are much longer and better. It would be worth it for $15.

Very disappointing. Was not worth the amount paid. No offers to purchase hope chocolate. Santa was not there as advertised. Staff was very short and not friendly.

Pretty but really short. Not worth the money.

Miranda, we are so glad you thought it was pretty but we are certainly disappointed with a one star review. We are the only Christmas light thru in Branson that changes out 99% of our lights every year. That is simply unheard of in this industry. We have been awarded the Best of Branson 5x in a row. The mile long drive thru has numerous themed sections. In the future check us out on Mondays or Tuesday for our value nights. Thanks for visiting and we hope you have a Merry Christmas!
